Disque, the wife murderer, who is now
in the county Ill unter sentence of death,
which will be ex cuted on the 1st of June,
has given up all hope of cl-mency, and is
reconciled to his fate. He does not be,ray
any fear or excitement, and the knowledge
that he has to die in short time has no
visible effect upon him. not even the men
who act as watch upon him, and whose
presence must keep his fate continually in
his memory, change his cold demeanor,
and if he has any dread of meeting his
awful fate, his outward appearance does
not indicate it. HI partakes of his meals
with strict regularity and with appa rent
relish. He is now being guarded by Geo.
Carlin and Henry Fincke.

ZEE VIEW xoUR.
Policemen, Never SATISFIED, Making An
other Kick.


When Chief of Police Murphy put the
s'new tour" of duty into operation in the
department, the kickers on ali sides were
numerous and loud. They said that it
kept their families up till midnight to
arouse them, so that they would answer
the midnight roll call but when they dis
covered that it assured them every other
evening between one in the afternoon and
midnight to their own use, and saw that it
secured them besides night off once in a
month. they agreed that it was not with
out its advantages. President Davis of
the Police Board put new time schedule
in folce, and now the kick is universal. 1t
is as enerous as the other, and has none
of its reliefs. Some of the men are getting
up petitions asking the Board to divide the
watch into three parts OF eight hours each
To those who know nothing about the
practical workings of the Department this
may seem fair; but it is the Judgment of
those best acquainted with the business
that the force is not by any means large
enough to make such a division of she
time compatible with the safety of citizens
at times when they most need protection.
1t would leave, it is said, only seven or
eight m en- for the small hours Of the ght
duty In each precinct. The petition has
not been very numerously signed, and
many policemen have refused point blank
TO put their names to the petitions. When
the petitions are presented to the Board, 1t
would be well for the Commissioners to
make inquiry into the matter of the advis-
ability of granting them.

I2 HOURS Il DAT.
Effect Of the New Law ON the Pay of Driv.
ers and Conductors.


The new schedule to be adopted by the
Jersey City and Bergen Horse Railroad
Company for the regulation of the hours
of labor of the conductors and driver on
the line, to comply with the - hour law
will materially reduce the salaries of many
of them who are now working on full
time. 1t will be necessary for the com
pany to add forty new men on the line, to
be divided between the belt-line and the
Montgomery street line, making the total
number 100. This is to be done without
any additional expense to the company,
and the men who have been working full
time, or 4welve hours per day, will be the
losers. The roads are now run with eighty
men, forty conductors and forty drivers,
most of whom receive pay for twelve
hours work. A few of them, however, are
known as trippers, an are paid by the trip.
Under the new rules only about twenty
will be kept on full time, and the others
will be paid for each trip they make for
which they will receive thirty cents trip
Some will make five or six trips a day,
while others will not be able to make more
than two or three. No changes will b.
made in the time table, except on Sundays.
when the cars will be run more frequently
Many of the old hands are expressing
much dissatisfaction with the new rules.
The change is male because of the re cent
law which provides that a days work shall
consist of twelve consecutive hours. For
merly the employees of the road took
''swing" in the middle of the day after hav-
ing worked five or six hours and finished
tn ir time in the evening. The men will
begin to work under the new schedule
to-day.
